Samsung is the current king of Android with sales that far outpace the competition. At that place are also defended Samsung fans who wait for the new Galaxy S phone every year, then jump on it the instant it's bachelor. They might not have to wait much longer this yr. Samsung'southward mobile chief has confirmed the Galaxy S9 volition appear at Mobile World Congress in February.

Previous rumors pointed to a surprise Milky way S9 unveiling at CES, which is underway now. However, Samsung is on hand non with the hotly anticipated new Galaxy telephone, but with TV, smart home devices, and appliances — lots and lots of appliances. The just explicitly mobile news from Samsung at CES was the announcement of the Exynos 9810 ARM system-on-a-chip (SoC), which will probably debut in the international version of the Galaxy S9 (the US version will accept an updated Snapdragon fleck). The Exynos 9810 is an octa-cadre chip with four low-ability Cortex-A55 cores and four custom high-performance cores. It supports gigabit LTE and has a new GPU with 20 percent more power than the final-gen chip.

When asked about the Galaxy S9 reveal, Samsung's mobile partitioning president DJ Koh said the phone would exist appear at Mobile Globe Congress in late Feb. MWC takes identify in Barcelona, Spain every twelvemonth, and is 1 of the nearly important mobile trade shows of the year. Several of Samsung's past phones have been announced in that location.

We expect the Galaxy S9 to sport some other curved OLED console with slightly upgraded specs. Samsung is way out in the atomic number 82 when it comes to display technology, so it doesn't have to do much to stay on top. The S9 will likely also gain the dual camera array that debuted on the Galaxy Note viii last twelvemonth.

Samsung has reportedly been working hard to develop in-display fingerprint readers for its phones, but it's unlikely the Galaxy S9 will exist the first with that characteristic. Based on the updated Milky way A-series budget phones, we expect the Galaxy S9 volition go a repositioned fingerprint sensor on the back that'southward beneath the camera instead of next to it. The sensor location on the Galaxy S8 is merely silly.

The Milky way S9 reveal will come one calendar month earlier than the GS8 final year. If the schedule holds, and then nosotros should see the phone launch about a calendar month afterwards Mobile Earth Congress, which runs from Feb 26th to March 1st.
